First time having to replace my power supply because I think my old one fucked up, I'm temporarily testing an older 550W to make sure it's my PSU before buying a new one.

Is it ok to leave one of the slots for my graphics card open like this or do I absolutely NEED both? My old PSU had 2 vga plugs for it but this PSU has only one. Also why are my sata cables so fucked? (Next pic) thnx guise

I have been suggested by another anon to try a few different fan configurations in my case. So far i have tried two configs. A standard back exhaust with top and front intake, as well as a rear and front intake with top exhaust. Here are my results with testing. the test went as follows: 1 min of idle followed by 9 mins of 100% load on GPU and 50% load on CPU (to simulate a very demanding game) followed by 5 mins of idle.>First pic related is my battle-station so you can get an idea of the place my computer sits, the case i'm using...Comment too long.

From what i can tell, i'm sacrificing GPU temps for CPU temps in the second fan config.I would be willing to test other layouts that anons can suggest. Here is a guts picture, take it and draw >meme arrows in the direction you want the fans blowing and ill test it.

I understand that all of these tests are only applicable to my exact build and configuration, but i'm sure we can all draw a little information off of it either way.

I was installing a steam game (call of dutty world at war) but i play the game and stock in a black screen, i turn off the laptop, and nothjn, i do the same activity like 5 times, but happen this, this lock screen was like 2 hours and i dont know what doHEEEELLLPPPP

>>55268112this has always bothered me, heat always goes to the top, why do card manufacturers keep sticking the heatsinks at the botom with all the components right above it (where most of the heat will be)
